\nTwitter removes \u2018government-funded\u2019 news labels after NPR and other flubs<\/br>
\n2023-04-21 21:46:41<\/br><\/p>\n

\n

After weeks of truly stupid<\/a> antics, Twitter has removed \u201cgovernment-funded media\u201d labels on all accounts, from NPR to the Chinese state-affiliated Xinhua News. Twitter even appears to have deleted<\/a> its web page<\/a> explaining the \u201cgovernment-funded media\u201d labels.<\/p>\n

This whole saga started when Twitter labeled NPR as \u201cstate-affiliated<\/a>,\u201d a designation that Twitter reserves for publications where the government exercises influence or control over editorial decisions. But NPR receives about 1% of its funding from the government and operates with editorial independence. So, Twitter created a new \u201cgovernment-funded media\u201d label for NPR, which is a bit less misleading, yet still could easily give users the wrong idea about the accuracy of its news. NPR ended up leaving Twitter, with its CEO saying he has lost his faith<\/a> in the decision-making at Twitter.<\/p>\n

Twitter doubled down<\/a>, adding \u201cgovernment-funded\u201d labels to media outlets like the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC Australia), Australia\u2019s Special Broadcasting Service (SBS), New Zealand\u2019s public broadcaster RNZ, Sweden\u2019s SR Ekot and SVT and Catalonia\u2019s TV3.cat.<\/p>\n

In one particularly asinine act, Twitter assigned the CBC a \u201c69% government-funded media<\/a>\u201d label, since the network claimed it was less than 70% government-funded, and as we very well-know, Twitter owner Elon Musk has the same sense of humor as a high school freshman on Reddit. This prompted the CBC to follow NPR\u2019s lead and leave Twitter altogether.<\/p>\n

And now we\u2019ve come full-circle. Just like legacy blue checks<\/a>, the government-funded media labels have disappeared. So it goes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
